"The CHIPR training materials are an excellent source of concise,
up-to-date information. They have proven to be a real time saver
for me and also my fellow CCHC's in North Carolina. I particularly
like the Pre- and Post-tests that enable me to identify and document
participant learning. Also, having suggested activities complete
with an "items needed" list is wonderful. I have used many of these
materials and have always had very positive responses from both the
child care staff trainees and parents."
